I got a little change in my pocket goin' jing-a-ling-a-ling
Wants to call you on the telephone baby, a-give you a ring
But each time we talk, I get the same old thing
Always no hug-ee no kiss-ee until I get a weddin' ring
My honey my baby, don't put my love upon no shelf
She said don't hand me no lines and keep your hands to yourself

B-B-B-baby baby baby why you wan' treat me this way
You know I'm still your lover boy I still feel the same way
That's when she told me a story, 'bout free milk and a cow
And said no hug-ee no kiss-ee until I get a weddin' vow
My honey my baby, don't put my love upon no shelf
She said don't hand me no lines and keep your hands to yourself

Hold it here
See I wanted her real bad, and I was about to give in
But that's when she started talking about true love,
Started talking about sin
And I said, honey I'll live with you for the rest of my life,
She said no hug-ee no kiss-ee until you make me your wife-a
My honey my baby, don't put my love upon no shelf
She said don't hand me no lines and keep your hands to yourself

Aged pretty well, think it sounds better now than in '86.

Nope.  No band members in common, and Skids formed in Chapel Hill, which is not Georgia.  (Satellites are almost exclusively Atlanta-area musicians.)

Sources:  Wikipedia.

This is one of those tunes that I recognize immediately and know nearly zero about the band.  Thanks for playing this one, BillG...it's been awhile since I've heard it...will rate it a 7 for now....and Long Live RP!!

One of the big hits of the late 80s. Shame they didn't last longer. 
This was instantly familiar - but it has been an AGE since I heard it.

And apparently, it has been 7 years since it was played on RP?
Lead guitarist Rick Richards also was a member of Izzy Stradlin's band, the Ju Ju Hounds.
